There are a few things I wish had been different for child-me:
1. Being accepted as who I was and given acces to education that talks about trans experiences.
2. Learned to take care of my curly hair as it should have been, instead of pushed to iron it out from early eage to extent that I did not know that its natural state is a messy, loose curls.
3. Being allowed to eat when I was hungry so my relationship with food wouldn't be so off still in my 30's.

The Bear, or How To Get Everything You Wished For (Seriously)
There are several rules, here are the first three, and the rest are shared below: 1. For this to work, you must be tastefully insane. You must maintain a delicate degree of madness at all times. If you are a woman, in the world, especially one who suffers the indignity of dating men, this is easy to achieve. 2. You must never keep your wishes a secret. 3. Wishes produce better results when [...]https://alessandraranelli.com/2026/07/31/the-bear-or-how-to-get-everything-you-wished-for-seriously/

This #Labyrinth sequel pitch from Andrew Plotkin is pretty freakin' awesome. They should make this:
Back to the Labyrinth
Friday, January 24, 2025
Tagged: #labyrinth, #davidbowie, #bowie #jenniferconnelly, #movies, #goblins, #wishes, #mazesLook, there is only one thing I want from a Labyrinth sequel, and that's Jennifer Connelly as the Goblin Queen... Mother.
I know, it's tricky. David Bowie was this horny teenage fantasy of Magic and Freedom and Romance; he definitely wasn't a father figure. Do we need a retread of that? No.
So Sarah (Jennifer Connelly) as a single mom, frustrated with her teenage kid, and the kid is frustrated with her. The mom is busy with her job and is never home. The daughter wants to run around the back yard and play with her imaginary friends. Sarah is like "Look, I know! I was your age! The stories are important. But you have to do the laundry and make dinner too! Sorry, I have a late meeting, I have to run."
And the daughter screams "Yeah, go! I wish the goblins would come and take me away forever and ever!"
So they do. Welcome to the Labyrinth. But.
Sarah is the Goblin Queen. She always has been. That's her job. "Away at the office" is "off in the Labyrinth". Ever since Jareth disappeared, Sarah hears the wishes and Sarah cannot leave a wish ungranted. "I have done everything you've asked, turned the world upside down for you..." Only now it's her own kid, and what the teenager wants is for some Mom she doesn't know to save her from the Mom she does know, only they're the same person.
And what Mom wants is for her kid to understand that for sixteen years she has had the power to say "I wish the goblins would free me of this child" and she never said it. But now the kid has said it -- which means it has to happen.
And they're both exhausted by living up to each other's expectations.
Whatever they are to each other, it needs to change.
Sound about right?
